On My Needles....

I am almost done a pair of modified Budgie Bloomers. I am now offering "hip skirtys" instead of the full skirts! The skirty starts just above the gusset! This way the upper section is just one layer and it won't be as bulky as a skirty over longies!

I just finished the skirty and the first bloomer ruffle and once I'm done the 2nd ruffles and i-cord, they'll be ready to list!

Size is approximately:
Waist = 17" Rise = 18"
Inseam = 10"


This photo was taken with my phone, so it's not the best quality! I'll be taking better photos when I list them!

Knitting... Soon... Custom anyone?

***DECEMBER SALE... 10% OFF ANY CUSTOMS!***

I just ordered some Cestari Fine Merino in"blue pansy", "dahlia red" and "babies breath", which are similar to these, and will be knitting up a longie version soon! If you are interested in a custom, please let me know, or I'll just end up knitting something cute to sell! :)

If you'd like any other customs, please check out the great Cestari colors available! I will special order any colors you are interested in!

CESTARI FINE MERINO COLOR CHART

You can view my current basic sizing and pricing guidelines below this post, and remember I am always willing to negotiate and work out partial custom trades too :)

The longie version I normally do has the striping underneath a ruffle by the knee, and the speckles on the skirty are an extra $10 because of all the extra time it takes :)



My little girl is 36 weeks old now and had all the wool she needs so I'm ready to knit so other babies can be as squishy and soft as my little one! Here's the Squeakin' Cheeks namesake herself! ;-)

Sizing & Price List

NEW PRICE LIST AS OF 2-17-2011!

Here are my current basic sizing guidelines:



And this is my current price list: (prices are for items I knit to sell, not for customs. Customs can vary due to specifics of design, special ordering of desired yarn colors, etc.)

**I have a new option...a modified version of my Budgie Bloomers! Instead of a full skirt, I can start the skirt at the hip! Just make sure to let me know which type of skirty you'd like! Here are my base prices for BBloomers and other knits...



Ruffled cuffs, extra inseam inches and duplicate stitched designs cost extra! Email me with any questions!!

This Week's Contest!

I'm doing things a little differently this week :)

I am SO excited that I made it to almost 100 "likes" on my Squeakin' Cheeks Facebook page and I have a few new followers on my blog! Thank you all for your help!!

I'll keep this short and sweet (mainly because "Cheeks" isn't quite Squeakin' this morning... she's teething and if I was to rename my store today it would be "Fussin' Cheeks")...

**Rules to follow after the prize listing below:

This week, along with a free copy of my "Budgie Bloomer Pattern" (if you click that, it will bring you to last week's contest that explains the pattern) I will be sending (via snail mail) a little fun bunch of goodies. I've only decided on a couple things so far, including a couple little "Mother Mabel" Made in Maine things (since I'm from Maine!), a handknit dishcloth, and who knows what else I'll throw in there! I LOVE giveaways!! Blessing others with fun little freebies can get addicting!!! Once I've decided on the care package, I'll post a photo here for the winner to see before it's mailed out!

SO.... here are the rules!
